In Episode 2, Dr. Knabb discusses repetitive negative thinking, including rumination and worry. Specifically, a secular psychological understanding of repetitive thinking is explored, including the definition and ingredients, although with some of the challenges this type of thinking poses for Christ followers. A biblical understanding is also covered, including what Scripture says about the human mind, classic Christian spiritual writings on the topic, and a meditative exercise, the Jesus Prayer, for developing watchfulness in the midst of the ruminations and worries of life.
